More about this wine from Loire Valley, France

Muscadets are awesome! They’re made from the grape Melon de Bourgogne, which originated in Burgundy but has flourished in the gorgeous, stardusted, Loire Valley of France. Heaps of hay and straw notes that come through with a citrus element that is perfect for any night of the week. Not overpowering in its overall body and palate so this wine stands up well on its own.

On the nose, freeze-dried yellow peaches and lavender sit on a pile of powdered seashells, while on the palate this wine is round in a juicy, chewy way. Lemon and lime come out with the sandy yet dusty minerality. Medium acidity brightens up the back of your palate making your mouth pucker
